Mississippi State and Texas A&M for me.
State because my younger brother graduated from there in '95, his daughter graduated last year, and his son is currently an architecture student at State. Also, one of LSU's greatest presidents, Gen. Troy Middleton, was a Mississippi State grad'.
Texas A&M? Well, once upon a time, LSU owned them not only on the football field, but as a military school as well during the 1940s and 50s. Both institutions were part of the 4th Army District. A&M had the top cavalry unit in the district, but LSU wore the Blue Star as the top ROTC unit within the 4th Army District. At least A&M continues their great military tradition. (Side note - my first game in Death Valley as a student/marching band member was the Texas A&M game in 1986. A great start to my college years.)
